Astoria, ocean steamers can ascend the Columbia River up to the point where it cuts the Cascade range, a distance of 135 miles ; here a boarded portage and tramway, about 2 miles long, enables the traveller to reach a second steamer which runs up to the Dalles, distant about 48 miles. At this place a steep waggon road, which is kept in good order, takes the traveller on to the Des Chutes, a distance of 12 miles, whence a third steamer runs up as far as old Walla Walla, and when occasion require...s up to Priest's Rapids, distant from the Des Chutes 180 miles. " TESTIMONY OF CAPTAIN BLAKISTON, E. E.
" Being now at the western extremity of the Kootanie Pass, I will pause to point out the capabilities it affords for a railway across the mountains within the British possessions. I should premise that I have not sufficient evidence to be able to state that the Kootanie Pass is absolutely the most advantageous place for the crossing of a railroad from the Saskatchewan Plains to the Pacific, because the mountains to the north have not yet been sufficiently explored ; but I am able to say that it is the most southern line within the British territory, and, as yet, by far the shortest; more- over, I have every reason to believe that the most suitable portion of the mountains for the passage of a railroad will be found to the south of Bow River.
